[QUOTE="spiney, post: 149211, member: 192438"] Note that, "signal test" shows only the default transponder, not the particular channel you're watching! Thing to do is note the particular channels that give problems, then get their transponder details from a website ([URL="http://www.lyngsat.com"]www.lyngsat.com[/URL] sky package, or [URL="http://www.satcodx.com"]www.satcodx.com[/URL] at 28 deg east). Then, on remote: services, 4,0,1,select , installer menu comes up, select "manual tune", and enter details for those channels. You'll get a "signal test" for them, in particular look at lock and quality, which tells whether decoding is possible. This won't directly cure anything, but does show if there's something wrong on those particular channels, despite default transponder being ok. As Rolf says, other equipment can "blot out" some sat channels, especially if it transmits within "sat i.f." 1-2Ghz, maybe DECT phones etc. [/QUOTE]
